BACDS Spring Fling Dance Weekend March 19 - 21, 2010 |

Program and Schedule:
Our program is designed to appeal to new dancers, old hands, and everyone
in-between. The staff will enlighten you to the Zen of dancing in workshops that
are really playshops, designed to challenge you to think about dance in new
ways. Celebrate those magic moments in a dance where you go “ahhhh!” Learn the
secrets of how to make your dancing more enjoyable for yourself and those around
you. Explore fiendishly challenging yet ultimately satisfying dances, including
the ultimate diagonal experience, “Yankee/Dutch Crossing.”
Musicians and callers will have the opportunity to share ideas with our talented
staff on building energy and enthusiasm through presentation. And with two
dance programming tracks (one contra and one English), dancers will be able to focus
on their specialty while having an opportunity to sample the best of the other,
with an abundance of options for those who wish to indulge both passions.
Program and schedule (with workshop details) are being firmed up and will be
shown here as soon as available. Keep checking for all the details of this
year's fabulous camp. Meanwhile, here's the preliminary schedule (all
